    Your vote of confidence is appreciated, goombah, but the powers that be around here do not seem to agree with me on anything for the last year. And I have to admit, some pretty smart guys have been voicing opinions contrary to mine. However, the role of player's advocate does seem to have gone missing around here, lately.

    A quick search in the forum shows 5 threads started with this very question since around the end of February. The only response from any customers is from one guy that is almost assuredly a shill. No one from SBR entered any of these threads to offer any info, and no posters seem to have any info.

    Are you talking about that "Billy" guy i saw him on another thread on another site talking about them. He seemed worried at first because he did a withdraw and did not get paid . Then he finally got paid and is in love with the book now. Do you need a referral some say there you do.

    More info i found out at this book. Guy was really nice named Joe. They are a European book that just got into the market a year ago. They have a bunch of different bonuses but they have a 100% cash bonus with a 10xs Roll . This is EVERY time you deposit.That is really good .He actually is going to give me 150% Cash since it is my first time.
    I told him i saw about them on SBR so i was trying to get some info to relay to you guys. They actually have no limits . They will take any bet apparently .
    There is also no hold on the cash once you make rollover . Like some have 30 day waits they do not. If you are like me and do not want to waste cash in casino he said he is pretty sure they can block it.
    They are an invite only book but because I called him he signed me right up. He said anyone i refer gets me a 100% bonus but i do not care about that maybe some of you can take advantage of that.
    Hope some of this info helps.

    So, they just decided to copy and use pinnacles web design?

    Whats so special about this book?

    The bonus details above would make me more concerned than anything else... 100% cash bonus on every deposit with a 10x roll, and no limits on bets. Either they got god awful lines or things just doesnt add up.

    No. The only poster that I saw in those 5 threads claiming to be a customer was a new sign-up named Paradis. Looks like a shill, and that is enough to make the book look questionable.

    That crossed my mind too - i gave the guy my info hours ago he said he should have my acct ready in 5 minutes i still cannot get on. Normally you do not get books with really high limits and great bonuses at the same time. But these guys have both. Sucks there is not much on them anywhere. Although i would hate to deposit $500 and get scammed. But unless i find anything totally negtive about them i will give them a try.

    This guy (billy da kid)was offered the same 150% i was too . He ended up with $2500 and did bank draft. Took 7 days that is what worried him because other books only took 2-3 days with him. But he said he got his money.

    I have deposited twice now p2p and both money and bonus showed up in the account quickly. They have live betting available but when I try to use it,it says it is not enabled. Called them to enable it,,still unable to use it. Will deal with that on my third deposit as I have lost the full balance twice now. Using baseball for the rollover only counts as half of your bet towards rollover. 20c baseball lines suck but the limits or lack of limits makes it easy to go all in as necessary.

    I still have not been able to log on. The guy that signed me up has not been there today or yesterday making me wonder if he is still there at all. The guy spoke to said he sees they had trouble entering my info but he will do it himself it should work in 5 minutes. The other guy said that too and nothing happened but lets see what happens with this guy.
    Once i can start betting Gamb if either you or i get to cashing out we have to let everyone know if we get our money.Or anyone on here that gets it .So far i found 1 guy who got paid $2500 on another forum. But at least i do not see anyone saying they never got paid.

    the only other poster who's pushing this book-billydakid said on covers they're located in CR. The fact you cant find real basic info is not a good sign either. Real easy these days to create a skin off another book and operate out of an apt. As long as deposits keep coming in they can handle a few payouts. Not sure thats the case, but keep balance to minimum

    Yea you are right i was not planning on putting $1000s in was thinking $300-$450 . Can probably get away with $300 since they are giving a 150% cash 1st deposit . Thats a bit easier rollover at $7500 . If they do pay off and i am nicely ahead i would deposit again like $500 even if they rip me off the 2nd time if i can cash out say $5000 i would still be way ahead.I am hoping they are legit though.

    Ok put in $300 to test the waters. A 150% cash will give me $750 with a 10xs rollover . Did not want to put my normal $450-$500 in because i cannot find anything on these guys online. Except for the one guy who said he got paid $2500 . I told them a bunch of us are testing the waters there . They said we will love them so hopefully one of us that deposits there will get a chance to cashout . Then we will see if they pay or not.

    Wow... nice deposit bonus. Hope it works out for you Cap. It is definitely a sweet deal... enough ammo to crack the sh1t out of them. I just do not understand how a shop can make this type of offer and not get their a55 handed to them.

    They said the extra 50% was from me doing my first deposit. They told me they do 100% cash 10xs rollover though over and over. What worries me is for a book that is supposed to have been around the past 10 years in Europe i cannot find anything on them anywhere past a year ago.

    Lost the 3rd deposit quickly a few days ago.,,No emails or calls bugging me to deposit more. 4rth deposit coming soon..Have talked to 3 different people at this book and all of them have handled things smoothly. Still not sure if I can use in game wagering as I mentioned it to them and they said tech support would look into it.

    deposit #5 is winning often,,,lowering the bets toward rollover to try and avoid a huge balance in case the stiff comes..should be another week until the payout experience occurs,,

    They stiffed me for $3325 today the day they were supposed to pay me after 5 weeks.At first the playthrough was 10x and by the time I qualified in their mind for a payout I did about a 30x rollover.And I did follow their bonus rollover rules.Their customer service is beyond deplorable.Like I said,today was supposed to be my big day to receive my ** withdrawal and guess what?They went offline and shut their customer service and wagering toll free lines down.My $3325 was the straw that broke the camel's back where it did them in.
